Triad Alternative School

The Triad alternative programs have one campus in Sarasota and the other in Venice serving Southwest Florida. They are Title One, second chance schools for students who have committed an expellable offense or have been referred for behaviors that prevent them from learning in the traditional school environment.

This is going to be another amazing year for our students. The staff is evermore committed to providing the highest quality education possible to your children.

As we embark upon another school year, the staff is eager to continue to grow and learn as educators and to help your children develop the skills necessary to be successful students and global citizens. Teachers, support staff, and administrators continue to deepen their understanding of each and every student on our campuses and the best practices for fostering a safe and inclusive learning environment.

The Triad Alternative Program's mission: To provide a safe, nurturing, and healthy environment. Emphasis is placed on teaching a strong work ethic and the values of personal responsibility, family, community, and educational success.

As the demands and complexities of teaching children increase, it is evident that the school and the community must work together to make certain our children reach their highest potential. We believe it is everyone's responsibility to empower children with the intellect, creativity, and decision-making skills necessary for them to become academically, socially, and emotionally successful and responsible adults.

With that in mind, you are invited to be an active participant at Triad Alternative Program. Research on parental involvement related to schools clearly demonstrates that active parent participation ensures a greater likelihood of academic success for children. Get involved by volunteering in your child's classroom and participating in special events. Stay abreast of the most up-to-date Triad news by regularly visiting this web page.

Since Triad Alternative Program is part of the Sarasota YMCA, our Core Values are:

CaringShow sincere concern for others.

HonestyBe truthful in what you say and do.

RespectFollow the Golden Rule.

ResponsibilityBe accountable for your promises and actions.

Throughout the year, I look forward to meeting the newest members of our community and connecting with returning community members.

Parents may request information about the professional qualifications of the student’s classroom teacher including, at a minimum, the following:

Whether the teacher has met state qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction.

Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which state qualification or licensing criteria has been waived.

The baccalaureate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate certificate or degree held by the teacher, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree.

Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.
